PM&R/transitional year matching

[PM&Radam]

how possible is it to scramble for a transitional year spot? Or do basically all of those programs fill via the match? I am applying for PM&R programs, and feel good about my chances for matching for PM&R. I am concerned though about matching for the transitional year, and I am wondering what can happen if I don't match for that year. I could basically go anywhere for that year, but I would prefer to stay midwest or west coast.

In 2003, there were 1033 TY spots and only 63 went unfilled. I'm sure you could find a PGY-1 spot somewhere, but you might have to do a year of IM or Surgery instead.
